Tourist industry wants free beach umbrellas and chaise lounges

Beach umbrellas and chaise lounges free of charge for at least the next three years to help tourism, the industry hit hardest by the coronavirus - this is what the Bulgarian Hotel and Restaurant Association is demanding of the government.

They are proposing that the government remit concession fees for beach concessionaires. Revenues from umbrella and chaise lounge fees amount to 4 million euro a year, or 0.1% of the entire tourist sector, but the high cost of the service is jeopardizing revenues amounting to 4 billion euro.

“Guests at the resorts are not happy with the high prices of beach services. This is bad for the impression tourists are left with after holidaying here, after which they choose other destinations,” the organization says.
